Chris Brown, in court today in Washington, D.C., over his misdemeanor assault charge, rejected a plea deal from prosecutors because, his lawyer told reporters, he is not guilty of punching a man in the face.

It’s unclear exactly what prosecutors were offering. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the District of Columbia told reporters that deferred prosecution or deferred sentencing was not on the table in this case, the New York Daily News reports.

Previously, Brown’s lawyer seemed to suggest that Brown’s bodyguard, Chris Hollosy, also charged with one count of assault, threw the punch that sent the man to the hospital with a broken nose in October.

The man had tried to jump in a photo with Brown, and the singer said, “I’m not down with that gay [expletive]” and “I feel like boxing,” according to the police report.

“We understand that his security staff acted to protect Mr. Brown and his property as is authorized by District of Columbia law,” Brown’s lawyer Danny Onorato said following a hearing in October.

Prosecutors said in court yesterday that they will turn over video surveillance related to the fracas, but did not detail what the footage shows.
